--- Quote ---HLA has one person doing the supervision of all their counselors. That is an impossible situation and a detriment to the kids. Dr. Buccellato will never put forth the money that it would take to properly supervise all of the counselors at HLA.

You said a mouthful there, Jack.
Yet another ex-staffer corroborating what I'm saying. We can't all be wrong...
Deborah:
Who decides what the ?issue? is and presents the challenge? Licensed, un-licensed?
Who makes the assessment that the kid is stable enough to divulge intimate details of a rape or any other abuse, or ready to challenge a long standing fear or insecurity?
What happens if they crash and burn, and more humiliation is heaped on what already exsisted?
What genre of therapy does this "exercise" come from?
What were you taught in college about forcing patients to divulge sensitive material in front of their peers?
How were you trained by HLA?
Who's approval is required before a challenge is issued?

Whether Right or Wrong, I beleive your are dead on the money, HLA is banking that you and everyone here is not going to make a difference. Until the press gets involved , or a mass parental come to jesus meeting with school or a lawsuit happens HLA is banking on you will not make a difference.
you want to hurt HLA , hit thier referal source, the consultants. Start a negative campaign to education the press in each of their home towns and get corroberation from ed con that have seen the truth, the kocerecks, Ann Carol Price, BJ hopper, mary consoli, cammi burtrams of the world.
Then you shall have an impact.

Thanks Deborah, You ran with where I was going and you know more about it.
These 'challenges' are not really therapeutic. So what if she saw herself differently for a time? Who cares? These exercises appear to work because they elicit a strong emotional response. What they don't do is provide any kind of tools that a person can incorporate into long term growth and change.
Now that Deborah brings in the story of a rape victim forced to recount the trauma, she has confirmed my suspicions. This is still just confrontational therapy. Confrontational Therapy (or attack therapy) was discredited 30 years ago as being harmful.
Anonymous:
I would love to read any studies that you know of that discredit confrontation in therapy. Please let me know your source, or sources, so that we can all become more educated on the topic.
Also, do you see confrontation and skillfull challenging as the same thing in therapy?
